that is so trying both to the sufferer and
his friends as stammering. 1t makes the
patient thoroughly uncomfortable every
time he meets any one. and in consequence
he is very apt to shun society and espec-
tally that of strangers. \ young man
with this infrmity is quite likely to lose
all ambition, as he finds himself handi-
capped at every turn. But happily in
these days it is not impossible to cure
these unfortunates; indeed, every one of
them can obtain relief in short time un-
less there is some organic defect. The
whole trouble arises from the inability of
the patient to use his vocal apparatus, and
ignorance of its mode of action is the
origin of his inability. Those who fur
nish a remedy must be able to provide the
knowledge which the patient needs. The
instruction is on a scientific basis. and is
certain in its results. Once taught to do
the right thing, the patient never gets
into the old habit again he has no de-
sire to relapse and every motive to use
his newly-acquired knowledge, so that a
cure is permanent. We have been led to
speak on this subject by the remarkable
results obtained by a Middlebury lady,
Mrs. IL. ;. Foote, in a case that recently
came under her care. As some of our
readers are aware, Mrs. Foote has given
much attention to vocal training, and it
occurred to her "A short time ago that she
might make the knowledge thus obtained
valuable in the treatment of cases of
stammering. few days later she was
told of a case, that of Chas. L., son of Mr..
l.. c. Seegar, prominent resident of Adj
Olson. The parents of the young man
were eager to have something done for
him and sent him to Middlebury. After
staying here, under Mrs. Foote'S instruc-
ton, for little less than month, he
went home completely relieved. 1t is
needless to say that he and his friends are
delighted beyond measure. His was bad

can talk as fiuently as any one. On in
quiry Mrs. Foote finds that the system
she was led by her knowledge of voice
training to adopt is that followed by .he
French and German specialists who deal
with these cases; and being satisfied that
she is on firm ground, she proposes to
open here school for the treatment of
defects of speech. Inasmuch as our
town is one of the pleasantest of summer
resorts, and the much more expensive
institutions of the same kind in the
cities are closed from June to October,
she ought to have good number OF
pupils from the cities so soon as people
there come to know of this school, to say
nothing of those who may come from the
country to take lessons. As any one

We find ii impossible to fulfil our agree
ment to discontinue all papers not paid in

to spare to attend to them, leaving us no
chance to prepare and send out notifications
to those still in arrears. 1t would obviously
be unfair to cut Off those who had not been in
formed that they were behind, as the date OF
expiration does not appear on the paper; so
we have decided, in order to do justice to all,
to continue to send out statements of their
standing to delinqucnts, and then they Will be

WE publish on an inside page a valua-
BILE article on the study of arithmetic,
with especial reference to the subject
of interest. When one compares the
simple method therein set forth with the
complicated rules of the books he can
readily see the force of the remarks of
Gen. Francis A. Walker of Boston, who
in recent public address, speaking of
the current scheme of instruction IN this
branch, said unfortunately, on this
matter of inaccuracy in the use of fig
ures, resulting from the manner in which
arithmetic is now taught in our schools,
the evidence is overwhelming in charac-
ter and amount. Our technical schools
receive pupils from the high schools who,
while they understand difficult theorems,
and are masters of complicated algebraic
formula, make mistakes in the simplest
arithmetical operations"

The Rev. f. 2. Baker gave an in
teresting lecture on Sunday evening,
February 9th, at the Foreign Church,
Hilo, on his trip to the late lava flow.
He also visited the crater of MokuaWeo-
weo. A good-sized map had been made
to show the flows OF many years past
and also the flow of 1887. Rev. Mr..
Baker went so near the late flow, which
was throwing up rockets, as he called
them, as to get hit by one, which did but
slight damage to his person. The stone,
in many pieces, was shown. He travelled
ten miles through the snow, which was
mostly crusted, and easy to walk on.
The crater of Mokuaweoweo had changed
since he had last visited it, as it now had
a fssure one-third of mile long and
four feet broad He found it hard to
keep warm at times, and said the cold
was like a new England winter. Proba-
bly, there are few who take more interest
in lava flows than Rev. +. P. Baker,
pastor OF the Foreign Church, Hilo.
